Visiting Nara from Osaka ～truly the must-see place in Japan～

Nara: the must-see place in Japan. Nara was the capital of ancient Japan before Kyoto became the capital. In the Nara era, Buddhism played an important role in stabilizing the country. So you can see many big old temples there. Many of these are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites and are concentrated in a small area. So, if you have only one free day to spend in the Kansai area, I highly recommend visiting Nara.

“Una experiencia inolvidable en Kyoto gracias a José!”

Organicé un tour privado en Kyoto para mis padres con José, y estoy inmensamente agradecida por la increíble experiencia que tuvieron. De principio a fin, el servicio fue profesional, atento y profundamente enriquecedor. José no solo tenía un conocimiento increíble de la historia, la cultura y los tesoros escondidos de Kyoto, sino que también fue paciente y atento al ritmo e intereses de mis padres. Esto fue más que un tour: fue una experiencia verdaderamente significativa. Mis padres se sintieron bienvenidos, informados y atendidos en todo momento. Si buscas un guía en Kyoto que combine profundos conocimientos con genuina hospitalidad, no busques más y contacta a José!!!

Jose david V.

Muchísimas gracias por tan agradables palabras. Espero que tus padres pasen unos días excelentes en Japón.

“Wonderful Guide!”

Yuji was very responsive to messages before the tour. He showed up early at our meeting spot. He is friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about Tokyo’s history, culture and scene. He tailored our tour to meet our needs and kindly helped me out in a pharmacy. Yuji spent years in the states and has had an interesting journey. Great guide and great person. Highly recommend Yuji and this tour.

“Great tour experience!”

My husband and I booked Ken for an evening tour of Shinjuku. He had some great spots picked out that I would have never of found on my own. He was informative, helpful, and so friendly. We greatly appreciated his tour and we would recommend to those considering booking with Ken as well. Thank you Ken for a lovely tour!

Dear Meredith, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly glad to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the Shinjuku evening tour and the hidden spots we explored together. It was a real pleasure guiding you, and I very much appreciated your warm and friendly company throughout the evening. I’m grateful for your kind recommendation, and I hope you will take away many fond memories of your time in Tokyo. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you visit Japan again—I would be delighted to guide you once more. Wishing you and your husband many more wonderful travels ahead! Warm regards, Ken
